Too big of a question.
Too many ages in boys and girls,
I’ll try...but I only know some of the teams
Overall best soccer town leagues?
East Prov, Lincoln for girls
East Prov, Portsmouth for boys
Bristol 3rd runner up, Warwick 4th
That’s overall,
Too tricky though.
Some towns like Tiverton and East Prov have a super strong soccer competitive culture.
But Portsmouth and Lincoln are getting better.Then there’s Cranston and Pawtucket which has some talent too!Comment

I loved playing an East Prov team and having my best U10 player come off the field nearly in tears because he was getting kicked and cursed at every time the ref wasn't looking. Stay classy, East Prov.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

What are you rating? Recent league or tournament results? Long-term soccer culture? Coaching/select program?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

All these predictions in both town or club is just dumb.
If you want to know the best town just look up the rankings.
How are the new clubs shaping up? Bait
Which town teams are the best? Bait
People who come here to create arguments.
We don’t even know if we are going to play soccer games this fall yet.Comment

Seriously what a tough question. So many teams.
Overall though I would say from rankings and being around towns for both my kids... the order:
Hands down East Prov wins across the board because their kids LOVE soccer and they have Bayside and many awesome volunteer coaches. Great organization and I say this coming from Barrington.
Girls:
1. East Providence
2. Portsmouth
3. Warwick
4. N Prov
Boys:
1. East Prov
2. Pawtucket
3. Warwick
4. TivertonComment

East Greenwich, hands down best athletesComment

Portsmouth, Providence Pumas, WFF for girls. Although Pumas not really a town team. Runner ups Lincoln, Ocean State and Bristol. All these programs have done a nice job developing girls into good soccer players that make it onto top Premier teams.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
I'm assuming this is Youth soccer.Comment

Agree with the earlier poster on youth:
Girls: East Providence and Portsmouth best quality programs in the state for both boys and girls youth town teams.
But something goes sideways in high school.
Boys: Cranston and Toll Gate best boys
Girls: Tiverton and Warwick best girls.Comment

How are your town teams looking?
Hoping for a season.
Best Town and Why:
Well, I would have said Tiverton because they had good girls high school team, but from talking to friends they have nothing coming up for the girls side years ages 2010, 2009, 2008.. not much coming up. So for girls I would lean towards East Providence for the older girls, Warwick and Portsmouth for the younger girls based strictly on what I am seeing through where the club players are from and town development.
Boys: East Providence all of the best boys come from there!
BTW I am not a coach or parent of East Providence but the connections that town has with amazing coaching, and Bayside, Revs... puts their boys on top.Comment
